Bindi Irwin<\/strong><\/a> and Chandler Powell<\/strong><\/a> are navigating having family on two separate sides of the world.<\/p>\n

Powell, 29, was born and raised in Florida but resides in Australia with the Dancing with the Stars champion, 27, as they raise their daughter,<\/a> Grace<\/strong>, 5, and manage Australia Zoo.<\/p>\n

A source exclusively tells In Touch that while Powell\u2019s loved ones have an \u201copen invite\u201d to visit Australia, \u201ca lot of his relatives are getting old and making such a long trip is difficult, so he\u2019s really feeling pulled to go home and get some quality time in before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChandler would love to take Bindi and Grace back to America for an extended period, but there\u2019s just no way Bindi can leave the zoo with him gone at the same time, so they\u2019ve had to settle for him just taking Grace on his own,\u201d the source explains. \u201cWhen he does get back, it\u2019s usually only for a week at a time, which just isn\u2019t enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for how the zookeeper feels, the source says: \u201cBindi would never want to hold him back, but she\u2019s also very reliant on him. He\u2019s not just her rock at home; he\u2019s become so crucial<\/a> for the day-to-day operations at the zoo. When he goes, it\u2019s going to mean a ton more on her shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source notes that Powell \u201cis protective of her and doesn\u2019t want to add any more stress to her plate,\u201d but also wants to make sure he sees his family.<\/p>\n

In November, Powell \u2014 who tied the knot with Irwin in 2020<\/a> \u2014 traveled with Grace to Florida and gushed about the experience in an Instagram post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShowing Grace my home state and getting some family time was fantastic while we\u2019ve been in the USA,\u201d Powell captioned a snap of Grace in the Tampa International Airport.<\/p>\n
